Corta-se um círculo de feltro onde se distribuem as pétalas grandes, cosendo à máquina (neste caso em zig-zag porque o tecido esfiapava), fechando a abertura das pétalas; depois intercalam-se as pétalas pequenas, cosendo novamente à máquina.A circle of felt is cut where the large petals are distributed, sewing by machine (in this case zigzag because the fabric frayed), closing the opening of the petals; Then the small petals are intercalated, sewing again with the machine.

Começar a debruar todas as pétalas com o fio de sisal, segurando só os nós (knots) com um ponto de cada lado do nó, sem esticar muito o fio de sisal – todas as imperfeições da costura ficam escondidas :) Penso que estiquei demais o fio, entre os nós (knots) fica bem um pequeno arco.Start hemming all the petals with the sisal thread, holding only the knots with one point on each side of the knot, without stretching the sisal thread too much – all sewing imperfections are hidden :) I think I stretched the thread too much, between the knots a small bow looks good.

Se o tecido fosse mais fino ou delicado (tem sempre que ser um tecido relativamente encorpado) usaria uma meada de Mouliné 6 fios (ou outro algodão que houvesse em casa) no tom do tecido.If the fabric were thinner or more delicate (it always has to be a relatively full-bodied fabric) I would use a 6-thread Mouliné skein (or other cotton at home) in the tone of the fabric.

As duas camadas de pétalas devem ser fixas naqueles pontos de junção de todas as pétalas, grandes e pequenas.The two layers of petals should be fixed at those junctions of all petals, large and small.

Continuando com o fio de sisal, fazer duas pequenas “meadas” e coser uma no sentido vertical e a outra na horizontal. E a flor poderia já ficar assim, ou entãoContinuing with the sisal thread, make two small “skeins” and sew one vertically and the other horizontally. And the flower could already be like this, or

Meri,
Very nice project for children. I read the translation in French, my native language…it was, well, more or less. Having said that, it was possible for a reader to understand the explanations. The Spanish translation was much superior.
Good job, Meri
